The City of Capital

Matthew Coville of MCDM

What can be said about Capital that hasn't been said already?

Capital, that jewel of the Empire, how I miss it

Some love it, some hate it, but everyone knows it

If I ever have to set foot in Capital again it is too soon, city of swindlers and thieves truly

Whatever you think the city has lasted longer than most anything else in this world, repelling invasions, rebellions, plagues and much more

Government

currently in interregnum for the seat of emperor, the council is running the city in their stead

Defences

Walls cordon off each section of the city, making any attack by land have to overcome each gate, while attacks from sea have the Imperial Navy to deal with.

Industry & Trade

There isn't a pie in the world Capital hasn't got a finger in

Infrastructure

Extensive classic civic buildings, beautifully and effectively laid out due to Lich Queen Thistles redesign of the old city

Assets

Extensive Wharfs, Dockyards, Markets, Civic buildings, stock markets, warehouses, forgeries etc.

Guilds and Factions

The city is host to a myriad of Guilds, some are even on the Princess Council, others support the cities functions, and others still seek to undermine it.

History

Capital has always been big, loud and wealthy. Since it's settlement millennia ago it was the heart of all that is going on.

Architecture

The streets are filled with Townhouses, while massive Imperial Civic buildings dominate beautiful plazas and gardens. The ancient Arena in the centre of the city is unfortunately disused and in need of repair, otherwise the city is a shinning utopia of inequality and extravagance.

Natural Resources

There is an old joke, that Capitals greatest resource is 'dissatisfaction', although with that many people in one area it is hardly surprising you can't make them all happy.
